Signs That She Contemplate a War

Special Cable Dispatch to The EVENING STAR
LONDON, March L-Most OF the foreign cores
pOndents agree that the immediate danger OF an
outbreak OF war is over, but there is a slight
check to this opinion In the result OF the Alsace-
Lorraine elections. There is also distinct class
OF observers whose view, believe, is founded on
very grave circumstances who declare that the
real danger comes from Russia. There are several
ominous signs OF the temper OF the car First,
the heinformation comes to me from Constantinoplc
that Russian agents have endeavored TO organize
military revolt against the Bulgarian regency.
The attempt has entirely failed but will probably
Oe renewed. A second sign is the maSsing OF very
large bodies or troops, especially Cossacks on the
Galician frontier. The third is the meeting OF
Russian generals at st. Petersburg, which was
summoned for this month. The most serious OF
an Is the news which Is already brulted abroad in
the POLISH press that The long contemplated
sUPERCESsloN OF DE GIERs
Is about to take place. His successor would he
Pobie Donostchieff, who is one OF the triumvirate
OF reacuonary panslavists who have the czar's
sympathy, and practically rule Russia and govern
her foreign policy. The statement is even made
that Russia has definitely determined on war and
Is simply waiting her chance to attack some point
or the Austrian frontier. This is the blackest
spot in the horizon. The brightest is the prospect
or strong alliance between Italy and the two
German powers. Italian parties are divided as 10
the wisdom OF such alliance but IL Is safe TO say
1t is more probable at this moment than at any
period within the last two years.

LIVELY TIMES IN THE TyOurSE.
Troubles OF Members Who Try to Catch
the Speakers Eye.

Each morning session brings more disappoint-
ments to the members OF the House-members
who have fondly hoped that during the last six
days they would be able to get their little bills
through. One by one the days drop out, and they
can do nothing. 1t IS humorous and pathetic to
see the eagerness with which members stand in
their places after prayer and wait for the Speaker
to get through laying before the House the docu-
ments and personal requests that accumulate
upon his desk. Fifty bits OF paper are nourished
in the air; fifty members are eager and anxiously
waiting for the moment when the Speakers eye is
supposed TO be abroad In the House, while Occa-
SiOnal!y one member, more eagerly than the rest,
calls mt. Speaker" too soon. Then they all
shout "Mr. Speaker" "Mr. Speaker"
The Speakers calm, steady voice continues,
''also the following" as he hands another dOcu-
ment to the clerk, who proceeds to read the title
When the title OF the last document is read there
are fifty excited and trembling members craning
their necks to catch the Speakers eye. There are
nifty "munS." Then Mr.. Holman holds UP his
long, DOny hand and cries, "Judgment!" Fifty
shame-faced, disguised. disappointed and indtg-
nant members, with their bills cutched In their
hands, listen TO the Speakers calm voice putting
the question, "The gentleman from Indiana moves
to dispense with the morning hour"
The morning hourts dispensed with. Then no
one but Mr.. Holman or Mr. Randall, armed with
an appropriation BILL can catch the Speakers eye.

Serious Differences Vet Remaining He.
tween the COnferees ON the Bill.
The cOnferees on the District appropriation bill
have disposed of about fifty Of the points OF disa-
greemenI. There remain about fifteen amend
ments yet to be dealt with. These are the ones
over which there is the most serious difference of
opinion between the cOnferees OF the two houses.
The appropriations for the improvement OF the
streets and avenues and for the extension OF the
suburban streets and avenues are the most serious
obstacles to an agreement. There Is some differ
ence still as to the schools but they be easily
settled. The confereeS on both sides are in favor
OF giving much more money for school buildings
than the Commissioners recommended, and are
disposed to be
GENEROUS 10 THE SCHOOLS
in other particulars. The House conferees are In
favor OF more money for schools and less for
streets One point that MI. Wilson opposes the
Senate in is the provision that the Commissioners
may sell such school sites as they consider unde-
Sfrable and use the money thus obtained for the
purchase OF sites or erection OF buildings else
where He thinks that the committee should de-
eide such matters and should select the sites for
new buildings. The conferees met again at half
past two O'Clock and will probably be in session
all the rest OF the day. Mr.. Wilson says he does
not know just how violent the differences on the
remaining points will prove, but he thinks there
is no doubt that they Will come to an agreement
ultimately.
